First Day of School (
by Anne Rockwell/ illus. Lizzy Rockwell, HarperCollins $16.99 Score: )

Most back to school books are about the first day ever. They are about separation. This is the exception. The Rockwells have taken on the excitement and newness of returning students, who have a different set of concerns. Told from the viewpoint of many children rather than one child's angst. It may be a schoolroom or library choice rather than one for the at home crowd. 6 & up.

Age: Early School Years.
